SAVED FROM TIE TIGER.
His Friend Runs Bayonet in the Brute
just in Time.

His Friend Runs a BayOnet in the Brute
just in Time.
Only few months ago, in India, in a
certain planting district there was no.
torious man-eater. Two gentlemen, A
and B, residing together on an estate, had
lost, besides other employees, two chowke-
bars, or native watchmen, within few
days, and the unfortunate men had been
actually carried off out of the veranda of
the bungalow. A and b, therefore, de-
termined to clOthe themselves like ma
tives, and sit during the night, armed, in
the veranda, in the hope they might be
able to get a shot at the man eater, who,
they thought, might probably return to
the'spot which had already provided him
with two victims.
They proceeded to carry out this in
tention, and sat up till about two or
three o'clock A. NJ, but nothing APP
peared. A then said that he should not
stay up any longer, as he did not believe
the animal would come; but B announced
his intention of waiting half an hour
longer by himself There we're large
windows opening down to the floor of
the veranda, and through one of these A
retired, and after entering his room, had
just closed the window, and was gazing
out for an instant, when he saw dark
mass land in the veranda, right on to his
friend, then heard sounds of a scutfie
and cry for help. Selling his rifle, to
which sword bayonet was attached,
and flinging up the window, he rushed
out, in time to see B walking down the
steps that lead up to the veranda along
side of the tiger, with his hand in the
latter's mouth.
A was afraid to fire lest he should hit
his friend, so, running after him, he, with
admirable presence of mind, went up to
the tiger, and, plunging his bayonet into
the animals body, at the same instant
fired. There were a roar and scutfie,
and b took advantage of the moment to
release his hand, and the tiger, after
tumbling, died. BIS hand was terribly
mauled.-L0ndon Court Journal.

ERNEST DE LANcEY PIERsoN.

Oft | see you sitting there,
Blue eyes, in that wicker chair,
Twilight on your yellow hair,
Dorothy!
Knitting, knitting all the time,
Humming some remembered rhyme,
Till the Dutch clocks merry chime
Called to tea.
All your merry girlish ways
In those unforgotten days
Dimly seen through memory's haze
Rise to view.
Every time ! pass the mill,
And the school house on the hill,
Tender thoughts still come at will,
Sweet Of you!
All, those curling locks jet
Must be snowy now, and yet,
| should know you if we met,
BY your eyes.
Hazel brown. and frank, and true,
That could thrill me thro' and thro',
Rudy lips just made to WOO
Such prize!

Well, I'm getting old dare
Say, yet your sweet auburn hair
And black eyes forgotten meier,
Ne'er will be.
As you knit there all the time
Singing some remembered rhyme
Till the Dutch clocks merry chime

A CUBAN HOTEL.
Furniture and Arrangements That Are
Curious to Strangers.

Furniture and Arrangements That Are
Curious to Strangers.
A Cuban hotel is a curiosity to strang-
ers. The dining-rooms here face the
street, and they are as open as though no
wall separated them from it. The office
counter and the writing table or writing
room are at the end of the dining room,
and eating, writing and business go
on inside of the same walls. This room,
however, is large square one, and there
is no confusion. The dining tables are
of all sizes, so that one can dine alone or
party of dozen or more can eat'their
table d'hote together. AS to decoration,
the brightest of colors are used in the
interior painting of the hotel, and in
some room frescoes prevail. Red and
sky blue are seen everywhere, and the
floors of the chambers and halls are
paved in marble and red tile. | write
this letter in my bedroom. There is no
plaster on the ceilings of these hotels,
and the great rafters above me are as
the bluest sky. The windows are almost
as large as the side of the room, and they
are kept open day and night. The bed is
of iron, and the mattress was never made
of feathers A frame work extends on
every Cuban bed, and we sleep in cages
of coarse lace like that used for cheap
curtains at home Most of the Cuban
beds have no mattresses. The sheets are
stretched on wire springs, and General
Brice told me he had great trouble be-
cause the sheet, which was not bigger
than a napkin, would work out from
under him, and leave his bare legs upon
the naked wire. The rest of the wood
work of this room is as blue as the raft
ers and every room seems to have its
own bright color-HagdnG Letter.

T7HE master said let it be a wreath of
slEt3 ivy or laurel but the pupil begged
IL that it might be a wreath of lilies.
vi The laurel, he said, in his soft, sill
very tones, never dies, and the ivy in dying
takes upon itself beautiful colors-colors
which seem mockery at such time. OF
the three only the lily is ever pure and STAIN
less. as the human soul should be; and, also,
it is only the lily which fades, droops and
decays in death, like the human body. And,
SO arguing, Bernardino won his desire of the
great sculptor, Tornello.
Bernardino was born among the bleak
Northern quarries where there is only the
absence of art to make one think of art.
There was nothing in his babyhood to COM
pensate him for the dirt and debris of the
quarries, and the incessant din and clatter of
the drills, sledges and picks of the quarry
men but the few mean little vines and flow
ers which grew in out-ofthe-way hooks and
inches where the destroying havoc of the
tolers did not wreak desolatiOn. The other
little folk of the quarries were as rough and
coarse as those from whose loins they were
sprung, and their boisterous noise hurt Ber
nardino even more than he was hurt by the
noise of the quarrymen. They said and did
things which panied and distressed him, and
so he avoided them and was always apart by
himself.
Loving the vines and flowers which, with
the bright sunlight and the ever-varying
sky, were his sole pleasure and happiness,
he began wondering if he could not shape
their counterparts out of the fragments Of
stone which the quarrymaster condemned
as worthless. At last he tried to cut a bit of
marble into resemblance of cluster of vine
leaves. He had only a rude chisel which
one of the iron workers had hammered out
of piece of broken drill but he succeeded
so well that it was very easy to guess what
his intention had been. He was then but
lad of eight years, and yet he was already an
unconscious worshiper at the shrine of
beauty. In few years more he had at
tanned a fair degree of cleverness, so much
so that he could no longer endure the
drudgery of the quarries, where there was
only noise and dirt and lewd jests and
coarse swearing; so, one night, he stole

LOVE IN THE ICY NORTH.

No stars shine DER him till
He gains the door, but when
She steps upon its sill,
Twin orbs beam brightly then
Though Wintry blasts and snow
Have stripped the garden bare,
Upon her cheeks still blow
The rose and lily fair.
Though he no grapes doth see,
And bare stands every vine,
Upon her lips still he
May sip the sweetest wine.
Though storm-winds icy cold
Rage wildly in their ire,
Her arms his form enfold-
He feels naught but loves fire.
Prom the Danish.

HE RAISED HER BEAUTIFUL HAND TO HIS LIPS.
what is it?" asked Bernardino, stepping
forward and taking the master by the hands.
II scarcely know. There was chill in
my marrow when you spoke then, as if
YOU were moved by the spirit of prophecy"
tered the studio, the marble woman, the
now famous Queen of the Lilies seemed to
smile down upon him from her pedestal. A
second glance disclosedto him that her hair,
eyes and lips, all of which had been color
less marble the night before, were now full
of the color of life. He touched her hand,
and her fingers, all warm and trembling,
closed over his. Thrilled and stirred, in a
way that was new and bewildering to him,
he raised her beautiful hand to his lips.
Then the woman stepped down from the
pedestal and knelt at his feet. The wreath
of lilies caught in her drapery, and, falling
as she knelt, was broken in two. Her fin
gers were still clasped about his hand, and
pulling him forward until his face was on a
level with hers she raised her lips and kissed
him.
liam the lily queen, she said. "She who
came to you in dream, imploring you to
release her from the marble block which
held her imprisoned in the Northern noun
tains. You have made me a woman once
more, and, as a reward, am all yours"
He believed her, and they were married
Many who saw her also believed, but many
more doubted. AT last all but Tornello
swore that she was only the lovely wanton
from the Roman wine room who made a
ladder of Bernardino's fancy by which she
climbed into better life. Tornello never
would believe this and BernardinO never
knew that it was said. Yet, when he met
her, all his art died within him and love
came in its place.
Years afterward, when he was dead, they
placed his broken wreath of lilies on his
tomb.

WOMAN's SPHERE.

They talk about woman's sphere
AS though it had limit;
There's not place in earth or Heaven,
There's not task to mankind given,
There's not blessing or woe,
There's not whispered yes or no,
There's not a life, or death, or birth,
That has feathers weight of worth,
Without woman in it.

Relic.

Last week a gentleman connected
with the Leibrandt s. Mcdonnell stove
company, Philadelphia, came to the
store of Martin Anderson and showed
him picture of a stove which was
made in 1856. Mr.. Anderson told him
he had one that would discount that.
1t was q stove that was made by
Sleeper 6 Ashton right from the
sand in the moulding shop instead of
from moulds. 1t is plain box wood
stove and weighs about 500 pounds.
1t was used for years in the old Presby-
terian chapel at the corner of Com
merce and Pearl streets.
The agent said it was undoubtedly
the Oldest stove he had ever seen, and
gained the consent of Mr.. Andersoa to
take it to Philadelphia and put it on
exhibition, and it will be placed on q
car in the Constitutional Centennial
parade. The stove is great curiosity,
and was undoubtedly made as early as
1860, although the date is not upon
it. It was shipped to Philadelphia
Friday.

OF his wife's testimony twas entirely
false and that during the tiase they
had lived together he had looked over
much of her shortcomings, but that
nothing had ever been done by him
self TO cause his wife to look over
In fact, as Mr.. Sheppard said, he was
a model husband. He declared he had
paid $71.75 to his wife for the board of
the children. He explained that his
business caused him to be thrown
much in contact with Miss Porter,
hence the scandal. Upon cross exam
ination he said that his business with
other foreladies of the establishment
had never caused any scandal. The
gist of his testimony was that he had
always provided nicely for his wife
and that her jealous disposition caused
all the trouble He did not blame her
so much as he did the gossipping
friends of hers and her family. Here
the case ended, and it remained only
for the argument Of Counsel before
it was given to the jury. Mr.. Van
Syckle plead well for his client, and
Mr.. Sheppard put in strong words for
the benefit of the wife. 1t was two
o'clock when the case was given to the
jury, and at four, not being able to
decide on a verdict, they were
discharged.
The jury stood ten for maintenance
and two for no cause. A new com
plant was at once made out by Over
seer Woodruff, and the case will again
come up for trial and Mr.. Elkinton will
still remain under bonds for his appear
ance.

That Strike.

That Strike.
The young ladies employed at the
Broad street shirt mandatory, in the
Ne,os of Friday, deny the truth of the
statement published in the PIONEER
about a strike at that place. OF course
the reason for the publication of their
card is apparent, but the strike
occurred just as given in this paper.
The facts published in the PIONEER
about the strike were told reporter
by some Of the striking employees.
They declared that they were over two
weeks in arrears in their wages, and
refused to work any longer unless they
were paid up. After day and a half
of idleness the matter was so compro-
missed that they resumed work.
Now when these facts are so we'll
known by the public, it seems strange
that a card should be published deny
ing them, and having upon it the
names of all the girls who struck. If
everything was running smoothly, and
there had been no misunderstanding
between the firm and the employees,
why did the strike occur? Strikes do
not usually occur when employees are
treated just as they wish to be. But
that is neither here nor there. The
strike did occur; the people know it,
and all the cards published cannot
change that which has actually hap
pened.

derful machinery it is. Not only the
